EDITORS COMMENTS
The Punished Thief" is a captivating colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame that tells a remarkable story through its imagery. Set in a serene Serbian village, the print depicts an elderly woman's garden being invaded by a criminal intent on stealing her money. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as the tranquility of the garden is disrupted by a swarm of bees who come to the defense of their peaceful abode. The bees launch themselves at the intruder with great force, leaving him gravely injured and defeated. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures this dramatic moment, showcasing both the power and unity of nature against wrongdoing. This artwork was originally created for Courier Sunday on August 13th, 1933, where it served as visual evidence of this extraordinary event. The image not only highlights the bravery and protective instincts of these tiny creatures but also serves as a reminder that justice can come from even the most unexpected sources. Beltrame's attention to detail brings life to every element within this composition - from the vibrant flowers in bloom to the expressions on both the thief's face and that of his intended victim. This print serves as a testament to Beltrame's skill as an illustrator and storyteller. "The Punished Thief" stands as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation; it reminds us that sometimes even nature itself will rise up against those who seek harm.
